what caused the latest protests was a rather baffling marie antoinette moment: the government has been trying for a while to get hold of every dollar they can reach. so they decreed import bans, currency exchange restrictions, recently something that looks like travel restrictions, and so on

they also told people that it was risky for them to save in dollars, and so on. for months. then, wednesday, the newspapers published in what currencies the various ministers keep their savings, fresh from the latest tax declarations.

then, on thursday morning, head of the senate anibal fernandez, who has been the government's spokesperson for all that sort of nonsense advice, admonitions, and insults against the "evil rich", was questioned by journalists why he had all those dollars when he himself had kept on saying all the time it was morally wrong and a bad idea.

his response, for once, was perfectly honest and didn't lack clarity: he said that was none of their business, he got his dollars as it was convenient, there was nothing wrong with that, and he's free to do as he pleases.

maybe i should clarify exchange restrictions: to buy dollars in argentina, since a few months, you first have to get the purchase greenlighted by the tax authority. then they set a maximum amount, based on your declared income. surprisingly often, this amount turned out to be zero, even for people who earned quite well and who obediently declared their income.

a few weeks ago, they tightened the restrictions. now the result is always zero for a whole class of taxpayers. (all that are in a simplified tax regime for lower incomes) and even more often for the rest as well. one retiree tried to buy ten dollars and was refused.

of course, the government then started a witch hunt on exchange offices and all that. and they have dogs sniffing for money at border crossings. (many people take their pesos to neighbouring countries to exchange them there to dollars)

to compound this, the vice president is involved in a corruption scandal. of course, he denies everything, even knowing all the other folks involved. despite all sorts of evidence popping up, including one of those folks he claims to never even have seen living in an apartment he owns.
